hey, guys! this is my first post, so watch out. I'm having displaying my result in matlab for this program i'm trying to make that converts grams of an element (in this case Helium) to moles of that element. I'm not really a programmer but i thought it would be fun. I'm trying to get the program to divide the input of "grams" by 4. but it's not working. any advice? thanks
elmnt = input('what is the element? ','s');
grams = input ('how many grams?');
if strcmp(elmnt, 'He')
disp (grams/4)
else disp (' that''s not the right element')
end

This code appears to be working fine for me. Have you considered using fprintf?
fprintf('%d moles of He\n', grams/4);
